I think you underestimate the effect that bringing in top talent can have on the other players. Even Luke Shaw himself publicly said a couple of weeks ago that the club desperately need to strengthen ... and that's coming from a guy that knew that his starting spot would be in danger if they did. Bringing in a top player can lift your whole squad, even if you still have other holes in the team.
Either way, I kind of find it funny that people bash United for not spending €120m on a player while no other team spent more than €80m on a player during this window. I'm sure they'd mock them as well if they had done it.
